The Case Study of Bruce Wayne (class assignment)

  Bruce Wayne from ‘Batman Begins’ Presenting Problems Bruce Wayne is dealing with PTSD, repressed anger, and the trauma that stems from the experience of seeing his parents get murdered in front of him as an adolescent by a man named Joe Chill. He is also dealing with the PTSD, phobia of bats, and trauma that came from falling into a pit of bats while playing with his childhood friend Rachel Dawes near the top of an old well. Bruce manifests these thoughts and emotions at first through the homicidal ideation of murdering Joe Chill, but while he is on trial an associate of the mafia crime boss Carmine Falcone is able to murder him first as he is exiting the court room. Due to not being able to fulfill his murder fantasy, Bruce Wayne’s homicidal ideation develops into violence and vigilantism after he trains with the League of Shadows a secret society that offers Bruce temporary purpose and guidance through the controversial leader Ra’s Al Ghul. Bruce renounces homicide as a method ...

The New Spider-Man Movie was mid.

The new Spider-man was mid. I’m not afraid to say it.   When I heard a new Spider-Man was coming out, I wondered what it would be about. The story concluded so well with 2021’s ‘Spider-Man: No Way Home’ & I wasn’t sure what was next for the character. I think the writers felt the same way after seeing how they wrote this movie đŸ˜‚ To put it shortly, ‘Spider Man: Brand New Day’ is the ‘Toy Story 4’ of the franchise, it’s cool to see all these characters return but there really doesn’t seem to be a reason why they brought them all back together again.  We’ll start with the villain.  In my opinion of all the superhero villains, Batman is no. 1 & I would say Spider-Man is no. 2. From Scorpion to Vulture to Rhino to Venom to Carnage, the list goes on and on and only gets better. All of that to say, with such a large plethora of great villains to choose from, why did they think the best choice was an X-Men (X-Man or whatever)? The only conclusion could be world building....

Daredevil: Should It Have Been Born Again?

‘Daredevil: Born Again’ is a hybrid amalgamation of the hit Netflix series that I believe was one of the best superhero shows of all time (I’d say one of the best TV shows of all time too if I didn’t include season 2) & the results are mostly good but not mostly great, let me tell you why.   If you fuse an A+ show such as the Netflix ‘Daredevil’ series with the current MCU which is at best a C- at the moment, you end up with something that’s around a 4/5 stars show and that IS a solid B, but going from an A+ to a B is gonna be fine for some people, while drastically bothering others.  I’m currently on season one, episode 7 of the show and some of the main issues are as follows: “What’s with the unnecessary CGI?”  To see Daredevil swinging through the city like he’s Spider-Man then being edited back into the gritty fight scenes that the show was known for in its first three seasons, comes off as, well…off.  It’s like oil and water, they don’t mix. Either be anothe...

Temptation: A ‘Sinners’ Analysis

When Sammie Moore read 1 Corinthians 10:13, I knew exactly where this movie was going.  Sort of. If ‘Sinners’ wasn’t the final name of the movie, another name they could’ve went with was ‘Temptation.’ A little too on the nose and not as intriguing which is probably why they went with the aforementioned title.  I’m sure I’m the millionth person to do an analysis on this movie but here goes.  The Smokestack brothers sinned to get their fortune & as they said in the film, “better to deal with the devil they know” which was one of their intentions to move back to Mississippi to set up their club.  Momentum starts in the film when Remmick a Caucasian vampire enters the film and the theme of temptation begins.  He arrives at Joan & Bert’s house who are both white KKK members and their initial response was correct, we should be skeptical of this man who is in the middle of nowhere & wants to harbor in our home, no matter what he looks like.  Native Ame...
